Found a 2018 nickel from Tims and I saw it while I was there so I asked if they had more, and they let me buy a wrapped roll from them.
Well done.

Stopped by the club today. The bartender and I always search her tip jar. I have her collecting now. I point out the ones she needs, and in return, I get to ARP the old ones. . Today she got the 2004 First Settlement quarter and another from the 1992 series. I got 2 quarters, a 78 and a 72..

Nice loonies Dorado. I still need a toonie.

Edit: Must be my lucky day. Just got a 2008 Quebec toonie from Wendy's on the way home from ball.. Love the obverse on this coin.

I filled up at the gas station and the gentleman in front of me was having issues with his debit card. I offered to cover his bill. I just moved to a small town of less than 8,000 people. He told me he had some money to repay me with in his car. Although his gas was $52.00 he handed me $43.00 in nickel dollars. A nice gesture turned into a great day for both of us.

He told me that this is how he tips restaurants and coffee shops! I'm going to use the nickel dollars to do the same! (After I search for varieties!)

I do the same thing with nickel dollars, but I live in a much larger town (440k) in Burlington. Before each golf season, I get 250 of them from a friend/collector and give them out as tips to the cart-girls and club waitresses as tips... they are a perfect beer tip. Each year, at the start of the season, I have to explain to the newbies that the coins are what Canada had before loonies.

That's awesome! I check my bank regularity for $1 and $2 bills as those have always been cool to hand out. Unfortunately ebay still fetches almost double face value for old yellow circulated bills!

Your gas gesture was awesome. Word doesn't take to long to spread in such a small community. You may get labelled as "the gas man". Good job. Jim Carey would be proud..
I ARP'd another 79 quarter today.

When will that gas station run out of commemoratives and ARP's?
